Strathray Gardens, Belsize Park, London, NW3

Newly refurbished to an exceptional standard, this outstanding two double bedroom, two bathroom garden apartment extends to approximately 1,207 sq ft (112.13 sq m), occupying the garden level of an elegant period residence on Strathray Gardens, one of NW3’s most desirable tree lined addresses. With interiors and lighting by Shadi Joseph Interiors, Hampstead, and decoration throughout by Jo Poulton Studio, the apartment has undergone a meticulous transformation, combining exquisite materials, beautifully considered detailing and superb entertaining space opening onto a professionally landscaped private garden.


At the heart of the apartment is a magnificent reception, dining and kitchen space extending to over 36 ft, with a wonderful sense of depth and views through to the garden. Large rooflights and expansive glazing introduce an abundance of natural light, while softly textured decorative finishes, Mandarin Stone tiling and carefully integrated lighting create a warm, sophisticated interior. The generous proportions accommodate distinct areas for relaxing and dining, alongside a discreet study recess.


The beautifully appointed kitchen pairs richly grained Italian walnut cabinetry with Taj Mahal stone worktops and a substantial waterfall island incorporating breakfast seating. Miele and discreetly integrated Siemens appliances complement the clean architectural detailing, with a Quooker tap and an independent filtered water tap completing the specification.


Opening directly from the reception space, the professionally landscaped private garden forms a beautiful extension of the living accommodation. Arranged with separate terraces for outdoor dining and relaxed seating, surrounded by established planting, it offers an inviting setting for entertaining or enjoying a quiet afternoon. An irrigation system controlled by app and sensors provides a practical addition to the thoughtfully designed landscaping.


The bedroom accommodation is positioned separately from the principal entertaining space. The generous principal bedroom features a broad bay window, fitted storage and an en suite bathroom with a bath and twin basins. A second double bedroom benefits from extensive fitted cupboards and is served by a separate shower room accessed from the hallway. Both bathrooms are by C.P. Hart, with distinctive tiling, contemporary fittings and considered lighting continuing the quality and individuality evident throughout the apartment.


The refurbishment extends well beyond the decorative finishes, with new handmade timber sash windows, fitted walnut cupboards, underfloor heating beneath all tiled floors and new cast iron radiators in the bedrooms, complemented by app controlled heating. Further features include a new Vaillant boiler, a Monarch water softener system and Google Nest security and fire detection equipment.


Strathray Gardens is one of Belsize Park’s most attractive residential streets, distinguished by its mature trees, handsome period architecture and wonderfully peaceful character. The independent cafés, restaurants and neighbourhood shops of Belsize Village and England’s Lane are close by, with Hampstead Village, Primrose Hill and the expansive open spaces of Hampstead Heath also within easy reach. Transport connections are excellent, with Swiss Cottage Underground station providing Jubilee line services and Belsize Park offering the Northern line, connecting this exceptional residential setting with the wider capital.
